What book would you read it twice because it was a great book?

Answer 1

I've read the following more than once:

"A Tale of Two Cities" - Charles Dickens
"Anne of the Island" - L. M. Montgomery
"Pride and Prejudice" - Jane Austen
"La guerre de Troie n'aura pas lieu" - Jean Giraudoux (if you don't speak French and can find an English translation of this play, read it now! So funny!)
"The Merchant of Venice" - William Shakespeare
"Take Us to Your Mall" - Bill Amend
"The Scarlet Letter" - Nathaniel Hawthorne
"Little Women" - Louisa May Alcott

Answer 2

I do it all the time. The thing is, I read pretty fast. Time permitting, I could swallow up a fairly thick book in one whole day. Especially with thrillers. And what I do after that is re-read the whole thing again, taking my time this time around to really get into the details of the story.

Sorry if that sounds weird, but that's how I savor my books. And if the book is really good, I usually pick it up again sometime in the months ahead. English fictions cost pretty high here in Malaysia so it would be kind of wasting if I only read it once. And I sometimes sell back the books I didn't like.

I especially re-read all of Harry Potter books. I love picking up all the small and subtle details that I tend to miss the first time I plowed through at top speed. As with the Lord of the Rings trilogy too.

And yeah, all of Anne Rice's Vampire chronicles, too!

Answer 3

I have read
Artemis Fowl- 9 times
Artemis Fowl : the arctic incident 6 times
Artemis Fowl: the eternity code 6 times
Artemis Fowl: the opal incident 4 times
Artemis Fowl: the lost colony 1 time
The Bartimaeus Trilogy: Book 1 -5 times
Book 2- 4 times
Book 3- 2 times

Eragon+ Eldest - 6 times

All the Harry Potter Books together - 29 times (not each, altogether)

Answer 4

Anything by Stephen King. I've read the DT series at least five times and I habitually read the Stand every summer, I think I am on reading number 14 and I have gone through just as many books because they are so well read they fall apart on me!

Answer 5

Anna Karenina
East of Eden
The Three Musketeers
The Westing Game
The Count of Monte Christo
David Copperfield
1984
Animal Farm

Answer 6

Gone with the Wind, because it's an American masterpiece and the more you read it the more you pick up from the last time you read it. Don't watch the movie, read the book even though it might take a month or two!

Answer 7

don't get me started. More than a hundred and more than twice. Sometimes about ten times but I've had a little more time than you. Last one? Probably "Interview with the Vampire" by Anne Rice, a James Bond book or Scott's chase to the Antarctic.

Answer 8

The Stand by Stephen King
Time Enough for Love by Robert Heinlein
The World According to Garp by John Irving

Answer 9

"A Wrinkle In Time" by Madeline L'Engle. I've read that book a hundred times. I also really like the "Little House on the Prairie" books, the writing is simple yet beautiful. Also "The Old Man and the Sea" by Ernest Hemingway.

Answer 10

Flight of the Intruder. It is such a great book and they made it into such a lousy movie. In the book, the main character, an attack pilot flying in Vietnam, is conflicted, trying to come to grips with what he does as an attack pilot and how he kills people that have no defense against him. In the movie they made him into a supermacho fighting ladies man. Puke puke puke. Read the book, skip the movie.

Answer 11

Any encyclopedia, they hold endless fascination for me.
Also, a series of books I read from 10 to 12 called the "You Are There.." series. The books were about historical events and biographies that were written as if it was happening right now. It broke my heart when someone stole them from me.
